Summary

With the enactment of the Industrial Relations Act 1979, in 1981, the functions of Wages Boards were transferred to the Conciliation and Arbitration Boards. The appeal function was transferred to the Industrial Relations Commission. The Conciliation and Arbitration Boards are similarly constituted to the previous Wages Boards, each having an equal number of members representing employers and employees and a chairman. They exercise the same functions as Wages Boards with additional powers in the area of dispute settlement.
